10 Temporary Decorating Ideas

12:00 AM

Today I have a few ideas for decorating your home or apartment without having to deal with long term commitment. These temporary decor ideas will give you the option later to change your look or to decorate your apartment while preventing damage.

1. Washi Tape Door
Whether you're decorating an apartment or a dorm, this is an easy way to add personality without damaging your doors and with so many varieties of Washi Tape to choose from, you can add your own style.

You can easily create large photos by taking your favorite photo to Kinkos and have them enlarge it for you. It's fairly inexpensive and can dress up any wall or area on a larger scale especially plain white walls that can't be painted.

Using decorative film in your home or apartment helps you to conceal unsightly views and ad character to your space. You can place these on windows in lieu of curtains or on a door with a window for added privacy.

Have built ins? Can't paint your walls because you rent? Using bookshelves or built ins to your advantage by adding back splashes to the shelves! Simply cover cardboard with fabric or decorative shelf liner to add visual interest to your otherwise bland space. It's simple and removable.

This is a great way to break up a solid wall-to-wall carpeting in an apartment or space in your home when tearing it up is just not an option. This will add dimension to the space and create visual interest as well. You can also change them out when you change your space.

I need to save this post. We are getting ready to move, and sprucing up a new home with some of these ideas (like the temp wall paper and the frosted glass look) would make the whole thing a lot more exciting.

I love these ideas. I have a friend who wants to re-do their kitchen. They don't have the $$ to spend on granite but these countertops may just be the ticket until they can afford the real thing. I did not know 1/2 of these existed. Thanks so much.

Everything looks incredible! I love your new look. Pinned and tweeted. Thank you for taking the time to party with us. We hope to see you tonight at 7 pm. It wouldn't be a party without you! Lou Lou Girls
